No finishes this week, but so it goes. Let’s see here… we’ll start with some dye jobs. I got these plain white with black stars pillowcases at Homesense a while back and got around to dyeing them: And there was a bit more aida dyeing as well: There were...

This week, a small and simple piece that is now the only retired piece I have, Cave Sweet Cave: It’s a battery powered piece that I keep on my bedside table for a little dose of Spooky Town. The two vampires wobble back and forth (they’re on small hanging...

Skullcap lifted by raw energy popping forth pulling up to the heavens I write what I do not know —yet— vague words that sound true perhaps a distant memory dim understanding an echo from another life when I was more centered grounded —yet lifted— spinning high like a German...

There’s a break in the monsoon-esque rains of the day, so I popped out to take my garden pics for the end of this post. Things are looking weary out there right now, but they got pummelled last night. Kinda fitting for this time of the year, actually. And...

So… I bleached my hair, as I debated doing last week. Not that you can really tell, but it is a lighter shade of red despite 20 minutes with bleach sitting on there and then dyeing over with a medium blonde shade called “California.” Oh well. Baby steps. Or...

Well, somewhere in the back of my mind I thought I had a couple half-done knitting projects kicking around somewhere and sure enough, they turned up when I was cleaning out the spare room closet. First up, “Interlude” by Shannon Dunbabin, knit with some handspun yarn I bought a...

I swore I was done with getting more Lemax this year, really I did. Then I thought maybe I’d go pick up The Witching Hour, since it was on for 30% off and I do have a bit of a witch theme going with my acquisitions and current holdings....
